I do think they wanted to release it later. But Wikileaks made them shoot their wad, so now Trump has a chance to recover.

But he needs to be on his A-Game this next debate.

Trump has been leading with indies all along. This is a joke.

Anyone who supports Trump knows what we’re up against and they know that the clintons are team rapists. Trump will be well advised to let tgis blow over. We’d really like a perfect person in there I guess. The dems can put any Lolita express rapist murderer perjurer disbarred slut with a licentiousness to get blow jobs in the Oval Office, on government time incharge of an entire military who wouldn’t and couldn’t do that on government property/time without going to Leavenworth and we only know it because the 24 year old was advised by the friend of a former victim to show evidence or she’d be dead like the others but don’t get me started

This is all they have. Maybe a couple more. Lame.

Let’s continue to pray for our country Hillary is destruction personified

Nobody is breaking for anyone. I have posted these MSN articles to show how hard the left is working the psyop angle. I believe Trump wins handily by the folks who are voting against Obamacare, Syrian refugees, and an anemic economy (to name a few) and just aren’t talking about who they’re voting for..

Self professing Christians does not equal Republican voters, so they are probably those who vote Democrat always.

From reading the pdf:

The biggest shift is among independent voters, who go from 42 – 35 percent for Trump, with 15 percent for Johnson September 26 to 46 – 32 percent for Clinton, with 10 percent for Johnson today. Republicans back Trump 87 – 5 percent while Democrats back Clinton 89 – 3 percent.

From October 5 – 6, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,064 likely voters nationwide with a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points. Live interviewers call landlines and cell phones.

The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public opinion surveys in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Iowa, Colorado, North Carolina, Georgia and the nation as a public service and for research.

This four-page pdf says they interviewed 1,064 likely voters, yet I see no breakdown in D/R/I nor do I see a breakdown in sex/race.

Even in 1980, I don’t recall ANY poll that showed Reagan in front, and he won 44 states.

Has polling become more scientific (and accurate) in 36 years? Not saying it has. Just wondered.

I hope not.

I just meant to direct my post at the wobbly kneed and generally stupid found in this country.

All I have to say to them is you want Hillary? Go elect her and enjoy.

If Americans elect this damned woman, then I will no longer care about the fate of this country, not worth my time.

That will be the death of my concern.

From the PDF

“...The biggest shift is among independent voters, who go from 42 – 35 percent for Trump, with 15 percent for Johnson September 26 to 46 – 32 percent for Clinton, with 10 percent for Johnson today. ...”

From 42 for Trump to 46 for Clinton in 12 days??!??

I don’t believe it.

Part of the maximum crush Trump in October effort. All the guns are firing now. They either Crush him utterly or he destroys the whole rotten system.

I keep taking solace in Nigel Farage's statement, "We were 10 points behind on the morning of the Brexit vote." I hope the same enthusiasm and 'silent majority' come out of the woodwork on November 8. Unless you're brain dead, you just Have to know what dire straits the country is in and this is our last chance to right the ship.
